Not overly keen on the launch colour with some of the styling, however, the interior looks sublime...!

[AMDBSNick]

Absolutely stunning If someone would like to order a black one with cream interior I will have it off you in a couple of years time

Yeah it's lovely, the rear particularly.....but it still looks the same as all the others!

As said before. Love the interior, I still hate the front splitter sadly.

Would it be that noticable in black though

I love the splitter. MY V12V is split from me (or more likely the wife, the jury is out on this) having nudged a speed bump/ kerb given the damn thing sticks out so far. This cheaky little lift on the Vanquish will probaly completely remove this expensive problem by having the lowest leading edge of the car further back and probably a cheaper non carbon fibre body part if you do crunch it. I wonder if I could reto fit one to my car....

Its just different and in time it will become the norm.

It has a fixed roof though, couldn't be doing with one of those! I just don't really like this new design

That front splitter ruins it!!!!

And the rear spoiler imo. It seems to make it lose the nice flowing lines imo.

These are the best pictures I have seen and I think I actually really like it for the first time!

I suspect The folds running down the doors will proove costly when parking next to careless people - they look like dink magnets to me!

Also I know this is being hailed as an all new car but I honestly cant see it - there is still far too much in common with current body shape, stlyes and interiors for me to believe its all new. That said I like it so...

Beside the ugly cf front splitter, it's a wonderful car. Well done AM !!!

But still no double-clutch transmission

They should design a front parking sensor calibrated to the edge of the splitter. Twice I've hit low kerbs with it while the sensor was still bleeping intermittently.

Disappointing that it has turned out as a variation on a theme and not ground breaking new like the original.
I still think the original beats it hands down on looks as well, but I would say that wouldn’t I.

I think you would. Original Vanquish, ground breaking or development of the DB7 style? AM 310 Vanquish development on the theme of the DBS - I can see a pattern here...

Agree that in pictures at least it looks far too similar to the current offerings. Perhaps it looks more distinguished in the metal.

I saw the one-77 for the first time at Cholmondley this weekend and it looks so much better in the metal than it does in pictures.

I'll wait for the manual gearbox version with clear taillights to be available before I buy.
